A Rocker For All Ages

Written by Arleen M. Kaptur


Continued from page 1

These fine pieces of furniture never really die. They will just nestle themselves into future generations and rock sleepy babies, feverish children, exuberant teen-agers and wise parents and grandparents. The very wrinkles of a very bad day are always neatly ironed and laid to rest for a while, while rocking. Smiles come easily and even laughter finds its way torepparttar surface. Conversations can utilize words or not, depending onrepparttar 111467 rocker's mood. Sometimes just a nod ofrepparttar 111468 head will suffice.

History knowsrepparttar 111469 wisdom of a rocking chair, andrepparttar 111470 arms of each chair have been caressed and held onto for dear life. Destiny waits inrepparttar 111471 wings forrepparttar 111472 right opportunity to make use ofrepparttar 111473 splendid things that happen when someone rocks in a rocking chair. The world would probably be a better place for everyone if only our world leaders could discuss matters while rocking and fine relationships might develop and be perpetuated with a handshake and a nod -while rocking. Oh, if you are lucky enough to have one with a gentle "squeak" - it's just a wonderful "extra." ENJOY! ©Arleen M. Kaptur 2003 January
